From The TV IV

The New Normal is a sitcom that aired on NBC.

Bryan and David, a gay couple living in Los Angeles, pursue successful careers in the workforce but wish to start up a family. They meet up with Goldie, a single mother and waitress from the Midwest who has moved out to L.A. with her young daughter Shania. After the meeting, Bryan and David persuade Goldie to become a surrogate mother for the baby the couple wants to have. Complicating the issue, however, is Goldie's opinionated mother Jane, who has followed her family west to L.A. to Goldie's chagrin.

Even before airing, The New Normal drew some controversy due to its content. One NBC affiliate, KSL-TV in Salt Lake City, Utah, refused to air the show because of objections by station management to the show's subject matter (KSL parent company Bonneville International is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which does not condone homosexuality, one of the main themes of The New Normal). Salt Lake City CW affiliate KUCW, which airs NBC programming not cleared by KSL, announced plans to carry The New Normal in its weekend lineup.[1] On May 10, 2013, NBC announced the cancellation of The New Normal after one season due to low ratings.[2]

Ryan Murphy Productions and 20th Century Fox Television co-produced the series.
